Oh How I Love Thee! (#6)

God looks upon us -- “How do I love you? Let me help you count the ways.”

Love seeks out and thrives in relationships. This is the great work of God’s love: to reconcile and provide a sense of belonging. This is God’s hope! This is God’s aim! And God has provided the means for a relationship with Him.

John encouraged…
“SEE WHAT KIND OF LOVE THE FATHER HAS GIVEN TO US, that we should BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” ( I John 3:1 ESV)

Oh, to have God’s love lavished [NIV] on us! Oh, to know He has heaped His love upon us to have us known as His children. Oh, to know and experience our Father’s love.

Have a great day knowing the FATHER’S LOVE as His child!
Carl
